Hi guys. I don't know if it the right place where to ask an help. Anyway, I'm writing an exploit for the new proftpd stack overflow vulnerability. Infact, I already analyzed the stack and created the exploit... the problem is that it works only if I install proftpd in the debug mode.

I know there is a way with GDB to attach the pid of the process running in a normal way ( for "normai", I mean withou debug options ) in order to keep a neat stack on which I can work...

In other words, if u want to develope an exploit for a vulnerable linux service with root privilages... what would u do?

Thanks in advance... I hope my italienglish is enought easy to understand!!

Thank you!Infact, what I really need is to understand how to debug a large applications. The first videos seems to work only on a simple source file, but anyway i will watch all the videos. Maybe it could give me some ideas!!!
